The Centers for Disease Control’s Office
on Smoking and Health (OSH) and Division of Cancer Prevention and Control
(DCPC) have partnered to support a
consortium of national networks to advance commercial tobacco use prevention
and cancer prevention. The effort focuses on populations experiencing
tobacco-related and cancer health disparities. This program is intended
to enhance the quality and performance of specific public health programs,
public health data and information systems, public health practice and
services, public health partnerships, and public health resources that focus on
tobacco-related and cancer health disparities in specific populations. The
partnership provides leadership on and promotion of evidence based approaches
for prevention of commercial tobacco use and cancer. This includes facilitating
and providing education, training, and technical assistance that complement
other CDC-funded chronic disease program activities.
